Myasthenia Gravis: An Ayurvedic Review
View through CrossRef
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder of neuromuscular junctions. It is characterized by fluctuating weakness as well as fatigability of voluntary muscles. The disease results from immune-mediated impairment of neuromuscular transmission, most commonly due to antibodies directed against components of the postsynaptic membrane. This review article presents an overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of Myasthenia Gravis, with a balanced integration of contemporary understanding and Ayurvedic concepts. An effort has been made to summarize Ayurvedic concepts and management in case of Myasthenia Gravis with a thought that an integrative understanding that combines modern medical science with traditional Ayurvedic principles may offer a holistic perspective for patient care.
